shelbyluvv Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Well I am long on my way to finishing my flares. Let me tell you right now this is a pain in the a$$ and very pricey. You will need 2 Left flares and 2 right flares to do this. I have almost finished the left side. I will finish the sanding and painting when it warms up. My garage is pretty cold. Notice I don't have a garage. Here are a few pics of the flare cut and taped together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 He's going to weld it. I've welded plastic before. Don't know what he intends to do , but I was using plastic welder (a small hot air blower) and you sorta work it like a TIG, heating up the surfaces to be joined and adding in filler material.

Pete M Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I assume so. I was doing it at work and never had to make any of my welds look good, just be structurally sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 Pete you are right sir. I have been out of town and the MJ has just been sitting with no flares on it.
